Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would afford suitable living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to accessibility along with internal and external space
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision for parking
  • the effect of the proposal on highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it

The proposal would conflict with the development plan when taken as a whole due to harm to character and appearance, failure to meet accessibility standards, and inadequate private external amenity space, which together outweighed the benefits of housing provision.

the benefits of housing provision and compliance with some development plan policies did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance, failure to meet accessibility requirements, and inadequate living conditions for future occupants
